Thanks!
In layout.tpl view file, where the right column currently appears.
This should work for now...
This assumes you haven't touched the breadcrumbs code.

layout.tpl is no longer used in the latest version of opencart, so you're not going to find it...mbeerden wrote:I want to remove the right sidebar from my OC install. But i cant find the file layout.tpl
locate and open the following file:

Find this code and delete it or comment it out:

My 2 cents,
Wasn't the column left and column right redesign changes added so that we could easily drop the left or right columns from any page without having to use conditional statements?
Yet, if I was to drop the right side column from one page only wouldn't I need conditional statements to resize the remaining content to actually fit "properly"?
Unless I'm missing something all I can see is that the changes still require conditional comments either previously to handle the php or currently to handle the css.
Wait! Yes you could use % based layouts but that in itself would cause issues with product rows and number of products etc.
I'd really like to hear other members thoughts on this one.

I guess "easily" is subjective. But you are correct. I guess you can't teach old dogs new tricksimaginetech wrote:so that we could easily drop the left or right columns from any page without having to use conditional statements?
Things get real ugly when themes start getting controlled from the admin. ZenCart started doing it and it caused extreme confusion when working with templates because you can design a template a certain way using the CSS to properly handle the dimensions, but then zencarts admin area lets you resize the table widths which then override the css and breaks the hell out of things. I think the way it is now is still iffy, but best to keep the majority in the view area for tpl and css files
This is easy, leave the template files well alone, don't put any modules in the right nav bar and then set its width to 0px in the CSS (display: hidden; too if you're paranoid you might be dealing with a nub), then make the centre bar wider, its something like 740px off the top of my head for a standard 960px OpenCart store.imaginetech wrote:I'd really like to hear other members thoughts on this one.

It was like that when I found it, honest!Oh and if you're doing it in reverse for the left nav bar, do the same, but make sure you put right side padding on the centre and right bars of 10px otheriwise they start to look awkard.
But sites should be based on left bar navigations, not right, its just bad Internet navigation to do so.

Also it might be easier to have these statements included once in the header or footer rather than to echo them at the top of every template file. Displaying them on a per-page basis would only require re-inserting the statements as needed.

This works if the right column is not needed throughout the site. What I was talking about is when you just want a single page to not display the right column but all other pages to display the column or to extend it further 50% do and 50% don't.
This was one of the touted features of the new template system (not requiring conditional php statements to display content selectively). However I think we've just changed one set of conditional statements for another.

Ah I hear ya, the best use of this would be product pages, where you drop one or both of the side bars.imaginetech wrote: Hi Matt,

A great example of this is http://www.ebuyer.com/ to http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Sound-&-Vis ... ertainment to http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175291
And another use of it is in the checkout, dump the side bars as they detract from the purpose of that page and limit the number of links to get out of it, it would need to be conditional, however pretty easily done, check the url for product or checkout and alter the page accordingly.
Not sure how it was thought it was not going to be a conditional statement job, if there is no admin for side bars in the administration area of OpenCart?

It was like that when I found it, honest!Hi!
I'm trying to remove the right column and do center column wider. I tryed with the css files in my default theme, changing this:
- On stylesheet.css:
#column_right {
float: right;
width: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
clear: right;
}
#content {
float: left;
width: 710px; /*Modificado*/
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#content .top {
padding: 8px 0px 6px 10px;
background: url('../image/content_top.png') no-repeat;
width: 710px; /*Añadido*/
}
- On ie6.css:
/*
#column_right {
width: 0px;
float: right;
margin-left: 0;
}
*/
/* convert min height values */
#content {
width: 710px;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
}
#content .top .center {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
width: 570px;
}
#content .middle {
width: 710px;
overflow: hidden;
}
But no changes. I have no knowleges of php or css, could anyone give me a hand on this please?
Thanks!!

This should fix it.
#content {
margin-left: 190px;
margin-right: 0px; /* Changed from 190px to remove right sidebar */
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
